How A Blind Teen 'Sees' With Sound

[Desmodontinae10]

Being deaf would be worse for me than being blind... I use echolocation in darkness, but I'm NOT blind.

[Desmodontinae10]

Echolocation is very interesting if a blind does... but it is even more interesting if someone who can see uses it! But it is NOT impossible...

The technology of EYE 2021 will probably never help tis incredible boy, but it uses the same basis of how a dolphin moves.

Does anyone think that he might be able to talk on the phone and listen to other people's homes or something?

[mussedeq]

fuck yeah DBZ god bless him

[LordEmilous]

I don't realize how he play video games though.... like, your sound echoes from objects and stuff, but in video game it all comes from the same place.... doubt he can rly play video games -.-

[AoCranger]

All most noobs do anyway is button mash, so im sure he can lol

[DeadPoolMK]

@LordEmilous

Theoretically, he could play video games, BUT his ability to do so would depend on the audio setup he has and the game itself.

For instance... if uses a 7.1 surround sound system, the additional channels might give him a better idea of where objects and characters are. Plus, certain games (Soul Calibur and other "fighting games") lend themselves to learning certain vocalizations and sounds.

@DeadPoolMK Surround sound does not work that way. It actually requires you to have visual input in order for your brain to sort it properly, because you're adapting to different input stimulation that way. He could not play video games any better than any other blind person.. there are certain games you can play.. but the FPS game shown is not one of them.

@townparkradio the brain is plastic buddy, visual map are taken over by hearing maps

[hajghaith]

that's incredible! Masha Allah, God works in wonders, nothing's impossible for God.

[mysticyx]

Except for (at least) one thing: making a stone which is so heavy, he himself could not lift it. For as if he is omniscient and all powerful, he would be able to lift it. Therefore he is not all powerfull.

Oh, another thing which is is impossible for him: to exist...

[hajghaith]

Allah exist and All Powerfull and you will hear from him soon after you die do you think you can live for ever? Allah is outside his creation not in it!

[hajghaith]

pigsshit is what you eat I hope you live long enough to repent cause if you die suddenly your judgement starts and you're pretty much screwed now good luck

[mysticyx]

Damn, the pigshit I'm eating tastes like Allah.
